Your pet may be a candidate for a dental visit if:

Your pet has a broken tooth.

Your pet has red, swollen, receding or bleeding gums.

Tartar accumulation and gingivitis can cause your pet to lose teeth.

Infection and inflammation from tartar and plaque can cause damage to other organs including the heart, liver, kidneys and can lead to more serious health problems.

Brush your pet’s teeth regularly only with special pet-friendly toothpaste provided by your veterinarian. There is also a special sealant called Oravet that you can use INSTEAD of brushing. Oravet only has to be applied once a week, while brushing should happen at least four times a week to be effective. Ask us about Oravet.
